The present paper shortly reviews the literature on subliminal stimuli and dreaming. Points of criticism are the lack of formal analysis in some studies and the inadequate stimulus technique. The present study could not replicate the findings of Leuschner et al. (1994) regarding the influence of formal stimulus characteristics but support the view that subliminal stimuli affect thematic content of dreams.
